Traffic Light Labelling for Food: Why?

Traffic light labelling for food: why would the food industry agree to this? Pressure from Government? Altruistic concern over the rising numbers of
obese people? Genuine belief this might actually help the plight of overweight
citizens across the world?

Unlikely.
Key question here – what’s in it for the food industry!

We think this. Traffic light labelling diverts people from the
real issue while displaying faux genuine concern for UK citizens. A win-win
situation for those in the money.

Traffic light labelling maintains the focus on
processed foodstuffs while somehow making this an acceptable source of
nutrition. We think they are missing the
point. This is about real food
folks! By somehow diverting attention
away from real food and legitimising processed junk food they keep the money “in-house”.

Don’t fall for it. Keep food choices real and don’t be deflected
from the cause. Keep an open mind and question everything. What do you think?

Why We (Really) Get Fat!

Take a look at this little gem explaining a key fundamental fact of which most of you will be unaware. That is the truth about why we really get fat.

Eatwell Plate

Healthy eating? Sadly large parts of the NHS eatwell plate are anything but.

State Of The Nation

Despite official advice, things like the Change 4 Life scheme,eatwell plate and NHS guidelines. Obesity in the UK is on the increase along with diseases like Diabetes at epidemic proportions.

Why is this? Is there a solution?

Standard advice is to eat less and exercise more. Can this be right? Well it's not worked to date so what do you think. Not just here in the UK either, globally the advice is much the same and yet present figures show we are at pandemic levels around the world.
